Daily Devotional - Thursday, July 23

Love is patient, love is kind. As we walk in Christ, we leave behind the past. We begin to focus on the future and what lies ahead of us. I started with love because love empowers us. We are to walk and live in unity and peace with God and others. God is love. So wait on God to direct your path, and He will guide you in the right direction. The path He leads us to shows us that we are to love God, love people, and change the world, one person at a time. As I look towards the mission trip, I not only focus on the people we are going to minister to, but I look at myself, also. Am I ready for this mission? Am I ready for the battle ahead? We are fighting for our Creator - our God. Choose your battles. As for me and my team, we go prepared to fight the good fight, and win the battle. Trust in God, submit to His authority, and share in His unending love.
